Chapter 888: Retreat south

?
The atmosphere in the staff is a bit solemn.
Niu Ben and Luo Quan were naturally sorry for Di Ying, while Xiao Ming was also thinking about a problem while feeling sorry.
Can he completely prevent the loss of talents?
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt it was impossible, because now the comprehensive education in Dayu has been launched, and tens of thousands of people in Dayu are learning modern scientific knowledge, and he can't stare at everyone.
What he needs to focus on now is to supervise cutting-edge talents with cutting-edge technology, such as Su Liangcai, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong, and Song Changping.
As long as they are active in the front line of scientific research, even if others choose to treason because of money, the technology of Dayu will remain at the forefront.
What's more, the real technological advantage of Dayu Country lies in him, not anyone else.
Moreover, he is currently taking a steady and steady technological development route in Dayu, and some advanced technologies have not yet come out in the technological spar.
What is currently being developed is only the science and technology of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Every time the country of Chongqing has untied a technological shackle, he will come up with higher technologies.
In this way, the technological gap in Great Yu Country has been realized.
"The emperor, the veteran is willing to personally lead the troops and destroy the city of Suzhou! He personally beheaded all the merchants' council members!" Niu Ben had anger in his eyes. Although the dark line of Qingzhou City was buried by the king of Chu, it now belongs to the merchant. Council management.
Now that the war is in full swing, the merchant council has shaded them at this time. How is Niu Ben not angry!
"The veteran is also willing to go!" Luo Quan said loudly.
Xiao Ming sighed slightly and figured out the joints. He no longer struggled with the defecting incident, even though these six people did steal part of their knowledge.
Besides, the current level of science and technology in Europe is basically equivalent to the mid to late eighteenth century. Various technological breakthroughs will soon follow, and the things they bring cannot last too long.
Containing his mind, Xiao Ming patted the table fiercely. He said, "You can no longer give the merchant council any opportunity to grow. Two generals, you must mobilize the remaining troops to send Suzhou. Besides, don't worry about wasting ammunition. Hit hard!"
"Yes, the emperor!" Niu Ben felt excited.
Although the incident was not serious, Cao Kun angered Xiao Ming. From the angry eyes of Xiao Ming, they could see how angry he was now.
Making a plan for a full offensive, Niu Ben assembled two divisions equipped with falcon rifles in the city.
At the same time, he mobilized forty thousand recruits who were still using conscription muskets. During the Northern Expedition, the conscription of the Great Yu Kingdom had been going on.
According to their plan, the infantry must be expanded to at least 200,000, so that the defense of the border area of ​​the country can be easily achieved.
After all, after the Northern Expedition, they suddenly had a lot of places to be stationed by soldiers, but a small Goryeo had to be stationed with more than 20,000 people to make King Goryeo dare not have any ambitions.
The pass on the front line of the Kanto and the Great Wall to defend Luo Hong and Qi Guangyi's soldiers from the barbarian was unable to move. This was another seventy-eight thousand people.
In addition, there is the border between Bashu and Tubo. Although the threat of Tubo is not as great as that of the barbarians, it is still necessary to keep a few tens of thousands of people in Bashu.
In this way, the remaining forces he can use for offense are not enough. After 60,000 elites, he can only recruit another 40,000 recruits who have been trained for six months.
On December 7th, after the victory of the two coastal cities of Songjiang City and Jiaxing City, the General Staff made the decision to concentrate their forces on attacking Suzhou.
In Songjiang City and Jiaxing City, Lu Fei and Luo Xin each left five thousand people to defend the city, and led the remaining soldiers to Suzhou City. At the same time, the army in Jinling City entered Taihu Lake through Loujiang with the help of the navy.
Landing on the coast of Taihu Lake in the western part of Suzhou City, more than 100,000 people prepared to encircle Suzhou City.
At the same time, Li Chuyuan issued an order to Sima Hao, asking the 80,000 Chu country army to approach Suzhou and fully cooperate with the royal soldiers to attack Suzhou City.
For a while, Suzhou City was shrouded in the haze of war.
Such a big movement was naturally seen by Cao Kun. After hesitating for a day, he and Qinglong King presided over the meeting and decided to withdraw south.
"Father, did you just give up Suzhou City like this?"
Cao Zhengtong asked unwillingly. They left Suzhou City at night last night, and now they are leading the main elite transfers, leaving only some less important members of the parliament and the old and weak remnants to defend the city to delay the speed of the royal army's southward. .
And they are preparing to establish their power in Fuzhou, Nanchang, Guizhou, Changsha, and Dali.
"Although the Jiangnan area is rich, there is no risk to defend. The merchant council cannot stand in the Suzhou generation. Originally, Xiao Ming did not interfere, but now he can only pursue safety. On the contrary, Nanchang, Guizhou, and Dali are mountainous and the people are very strong. The fierceness is suitable for the long-term survival of our merchant council. As for Fuzhou and Guangzhou in the south, they are important trade centers. We can continue to trade at sea for materials. The most important thing is that the more south we are, the closer they are to the military bases of Western countries. We provide convenience." Cao Kun had a plan in his heart.
Cao Zhengtong nodded, he looked back at the endless soldiers, and then at the people who were transporting grain and grass on both sides of the soldiers. These were the tribes gathered by the Azure Dragon King during this time.
He believes that the Israeli assembly army is in such a position that as long as it reaches the old land of Lingnan, a country belonging to the merchant assembly can be established.
...
Lu Fei was confronting Sima Lang, the general of the Chu army, and the two armies are now asking each other to get out.
Xiao Ming and Li Chuyuan were watching the farce below on a hill not far from Suzhou~EbookFREE.me~Suzhou is very close to Jinling, so he decided to come to supervise the battle himself, but he did not expect to rush. air.
"Asshole, if it wasn't your intention, how could the parliamentary army in Suzhou City run completely!" Lu Fei cursed.
When they arrived outside the city of Suzhou, they found that there were only some old and weak remnants on the wall. After a shelling, these remnants cried and surrendered.
Only then did he discover that Suzhou City was already an empty city. On the night before they completed their encirclement, the parliamentary army fled southward at night.
Sima Lang, who had been besieging the parliamentary army on the southern line of Suzhou, said that he didn't know anything. Obviously, they deliberately let go of the parliamentary army.
"Keep your mouth clean. This is the land of our country of Chu. Now that the parliamentary army is gone, you should also go back!" Sima Lang said angrily. He is the eldest son of the Sima family. Lu Fei abused.
If it were before, Lu Fei would definitely have beaten Sima Lang in a rage, but this time he was smiling, because he knew very well that Sima Lang was about to die.
Glancing at Sima Lang coldly, Lu Fei suddenly drew a short-barreled musket from his waist and shot Sima Lang's forehead with a shot, and then he shouted, "Hit me hard!"
As soon as his words fell, the Huben Army soldiers who had already prepared immediately raised their guns and fired at the soldiers led by Sima Lang.
For a time, the gunshots were loud.
After Lu Fei killed Sima Lang and quickly withdrew to his army, the reason Sima clan still exists is that they need Sima clan as cannon fodder.
Now that the parliament army was deliberately let go by the Sima clan, there was no need for them to exist, because since they chose to go south, both the Chu State and the parliament army were their enemies.
